I want to learn OpenScad! Anyone have any tips?

Aha!
I found one thing which is not in the tutorials! Case sensitivity! All text has to be written in lower case. If I use an upper case character or all uppercase it just fails!

Lots of videos out there on YouTube helped me. Another thing is download other scad files and study what people are doing....like "how did they do that?" Change the code and see what it does. Lastly, sometimes, you have to just jump in the water to learn how to swim. Start a small project....like building a snowman.
